Are drivers during their probation period allowed to be under the influence of alcohol when driving motor vehicles?

During the probation period in Germany, there is a strict zero-tolerance policy regarding alcohol for drivers. This means that any detectable amount of alcohol in the blood is not allowed. The law aims to ensure that new drivers develop safe driving habits without the influence of alcohol. Therefore, only answer 1 ("No, definitely not") is correct. Even small amounts, such as 30 or 50 milligrams, are not permitted during probation. If you are caught with any alcohol in your system during this period, you risk penalties, an extension of your probation period, and further consequences. Remember this strict zero limit for all drivers in their probation time or under age 21 in Germany.
